Amber Riley is beautiful in blue as she arrives at the dance studio in Los Angeles on Thursday afternoon (September 19).

The 26-year-old actress hit the floor to practice her second dance for Dancing With The Stars with pro partner Just JaredDerek Hough before heading to the mall.

“This dance…PRAY FOR ME! Lol my everything hurts, gonna practice hardcore after a LONG scathing hot bath to relax these muscles. Exhausted!” Amber wrote on Twitter. “My legs feel so strong though, can’t believe how much we have accomplished in three days! How r all of y’all?”

Later on, Amber headed out for some retail therapy: “So sore but couldn’t resist going to the mall, limping around like a fool. My fave store was having a sale ???? I think I need help lol. but that walk back to the car though…”
